 "More than one Revolutionary hero who died in Brookline barracks 
 found his last resting-place in Brookline Cemetery. Lieutenant Robert 
 Abell was one; and he and two soldiers of a Connecticut company were 
 probably the men who assisted in the siege of Boston and were quartered 
 in the Benjamin Davis house, much to the discomfort of the excellent house- 
 keeper, who used to tell in after years of their cutting up their rations of 
 pork on her front stairs. The soldiers were subsequently removed to the 
 barracks on Parker's Hill." H. F, W., pp. 49 and 221.

 "The names of John and William Ackers, and that of their father, 
 appeared on the petition for the separation of Muddy River from Boston 
 in 1704. In 1744 the Ackers built a fine large house on the corner of Brigh- 
 ton and Boylston Streets, which was quite imposing for a farm-house in 
 those days. In the Revolutionary times it was occupied as barracks for 
 the colonial troops, but the family did not leave it, as many families left 
 their houses but divided with the soldiers and bore the inconvenience. 
 
 "Mr. William Ackers died in 1794, at a good old age. His son William, 
 
9 
 
 the third of the name, married the adopted daughter of Mr William 
 Hyslop. 
 
 "Mr. Hyslop gave her a great wedding, which was a grand event in the 
 town for those times, and was not only a theme for tea-table chat, but was 
 remembered, talked of, and written about, long after. The sons of this 
 marriage were outlived by their father, who died in 1841, the last male 
 member of this ancient family."

 "Isaac Adams came to Brookline about the year 1815-16. The history 
 of Master Adams and his methods is a chapter which will shed much 
 light on the progress of Brookline during the last forty years.

 "He married Miss Martha Washington Hill of Portsmouth and after 
 her death he had her name incorporated into his own by act of legislature, 
 on this wise: 'Isaac Mahtra Wanshongtri Adams.' 
 
 "He was one of the first schoolmasters in the old brick school house on 
 Walnut Street. William Hyslop gave to the town the triangular piece 
 of ground in the fork of the roads, west of the church, for a site for the old 
 brick school house in 1793. 
 
 " Requiescat in pace. Master Adams! We trust thou hast found the Great 
 Master more lenient with thee, than thou wert to his little ones."

 Footstone 
 Capt. Samuel Aspinwall 
 
 In 1727, at the age of sixty-five, the Captain was drowned in Charles 
 River, not far from his farm. One can imagine something of the sensation 
 this event must have produced in this thinly settled town; the loss of so 
 prominent a citizen, the search for the body, — the military procession, for 
 he was buried under arms, — the long funeral sermon, probably in the little 
 church then only ten years built, — the vacant seat in the square pew, 
 "in the northwest corner," — the muffled drums, and the volley fired over 
 the grave. 
 
 And how it was doubtless the topic of conversation among neighbors 
 when they met for weeks after, and with what superstitious awe they looked 
 upon the fore-runner or "warning" as they probably considered it, that he 
 should have selected for his morning reading at family devotions the 27th 
 chapter of the Proverbs, beginning, "Boast not thyself of to-morrow, for 
 thou knowest not what a day may bring forth." H. F. W., p. 67.

 times that tried men's souls, amid the political contests, which raged in 
 our land, was greatly instrumental in preserving this people from those 
 disgraceful abuses which prevailed in too many other places. In treating

 Thomas Boylston, Town Clerk, signed the first entry in the town 
 clerk's records of this town. He was a physician, and father of the 
 celebrated Dr. Zabdiel Boylston. Dr. Pierce, p. 12. 
 
 Thomas Boylston came to this country from England and settled in 
 Watertown in 1635. His son Thomas, born in that town in 1644, became a 
 surgeon. He took an active part in the Narragansett war. He married 
 Mary Gardner of Muddy River in 1665, and settled there. From that 
 time forward the Boylstons were identified with Brookline. There were 
 twelve children of this marriage. His son Peter inherited the homestead. 
 Dr. Zabdiel Boylston was the second child, b. in 1680. The daughter, 
 Susanna, married John Adams, and was the mother of the second President 
 of the United States. H. F. W., p. 297.

 Dr. Zabdiel Boylston, F. R. S., son of Dr. Thomas Boylston, first 
 physician of this town. Brother of Peter and Dudley. He was 
 fa mous in his day, not only for eminence in his profession in general, but 
 especially for the practice of inoculation for the smallpox, which, though 
 so strenuously resisted by many of his cotemporaries, proved of such 
 essential benefit to society. 
 
 A memoir of this distinguished man, (who was born in this town, in 
 1679, bapt. in the First Church, Roxbury, March 1, 1679, under the min- 
 istry of the so-called Apostle Eliot) was written by Dr. Peter Thacher, min- 
 ister of the Brattle Street Church, Boston, and published in the Massa- 
 chusetts Magazine for December, 1789. In consequence of high attain- 
 ments in his profession, Dr. Boylston was elected Fellow of the Royal 
 Society in London, a distinction very rarely conferred on natives of this 
 country. 
 
 A plain monument to his memory may still be seen in our Cemetery.

 William H. Brown played the bassoon at the First Parish Church for 
 many years. H. F. W., p. 2. 
 
 About the year 1819, two young men, Mr. J. Lyon and Mr. W. H. 
 Brown, commenced business in the village — Mr. Lyon being a wheelwright, 
 and Mr. Brown a harness-maker — in a shop which was built for them at 
 the westerly end of the old "Punch Bowl" out-buildings, by Mr. Laughton, 
 for many years the proprietor of this famous old tavern. When the time 
 came for the destruction of these buildings, these young men removed their 
 business — Mr. Brown to a new shop next to Baker's present paint-shop.

 This is probably the person of whom Judge Sewall speaks in his diary 
 under date of March 12, 1684. "Watched, with Isaac Goose and Samuel 
 Clark, Pleasant night." This was a time when the Indians were particu-

 "Captain Timothy Corey was in active service in the Revolutionary 
 war, and was one of three who were all that were left of an entire company 
 who died of wounds, sickness, and imprisonment. He and his comrades 
 returned footsore, ragged, and forlorn, from their terrible exposure and 
 hardships. At the time of the battle of Lexington, his young wife with 
 her two little children left the house, as did many other women of Brook- 
 line, and carrying some blankets and provisions with them, sought shelter 
 in the woods, till the fright and danger from the enemy passing through 
 the town were over. 
 
 "Captain Corey is remembered as an old gentleman who dressed in the 
 costume of the last century, as long as he lived, wearing a 'three-cornered 
 cocked hat.' An anecdote is told of his wife, which indicates her opinion 
 of her husband's appearance. Some one, a stranger, called at his house one 
 day when he was away from home, desiring to see him. Mrs. Corey told 
 him to go down the road and if he met 'a fine-looking, portly man on horse- 
 back, he might know it was her husband.' 
 
 "Captain Corey died in 1811, aged 69 years. He was buried from the 
 First Church, with Masonic honors. 
 
 "The two sons of Capt. Corey, afterwards known as 'Deacon Elijah' 
 and 'Deacon Timothy,' joined the Baptists." 
 
 H. F. W., p. 181 and 182. 
 
 All the Coreys of three generations have been farmers and have been 
 considered shrewd, practical men. The two brothers, Elijah and Timothy, 
 were among the first projectors of the Baptist Church enterprise in this

 Caleb Craft resided in Brookline and was one of the most prominent 
 and influential men of his town. He held many public offices. (His name 
 is on the Honor Roll on the tablet in the Public Library, also that of his 
 third wife, Jerusha White.) At the first outbreak of the Revolution, 
 Caleb Craft entered into the service of his country, and remained in the 
 service until 1779. At the time of the Lexington Alarm he marched as 
 first lieutenant of Capt. Thos. White's Company. On the 10th of April, 
 1776, he was commissioned as first lieutenant of the third company, whereof 
 Thomas White is Captain and William Mcintosh, Esq., is Colonel. This 
 commission was signed by the "Major part of the Council of the Mass. 
 Bay in New England." It is now in the possession of William F. Crafts 
 to whom it was bequeathed by Mr. George Craft of Brookline, a grandson 
 of Lieut. Caleb Craft. 
 
 Among the family papers are a great many military orders and receipts 
 relating to the period of his service in the Continental Army. The earlier 
 ones relate to the service in northern department of Canada; those in 
 1778 to the transports for Burgoyne's Army, and to service on Dorchester 
 Heights, where he was in command of his company for a long time. Later 
 ones relate to procuring men for service in 1781, 1782 and 1783. Copies 
 of some of these papers are given in "The Crafts Family," page 163. 
 
 Lieut. Craft lived in the upper part of Brookline near Newton. In 1791 
 he bought his father's estate on Newton Street, Brookline, and lived there 
 until 1812, when he left it to his son Samuel and removed to the South 
 
37 
 
 Street farm. This farm he also purchased of his father, it being the farm 
 given to his brother Samuel by their grandfather, Samuel White, about 1775. 
 He built on this farm in 1805. He resided there the remainder of his life, 
 and afterwards it passed by inheritance to his son Caleb. Lieut. Craft 
 also owned portions of the old Griggs and Chamberlin farms located in 
 that section of the town. 
 
 He attended church in Brookline, and among the family papers is a 
 receipt for 6 lbs. 13s. 4d. for a pew in "Brooklyn Meeting House" July 30, 
 1772. 
 
 In 1824, when he was eighty-two years of age, he had a family tomb 
 built in the Brookline Cemetery, which contains the remains of three 
 generations of the family. The Craft Family. 
 
 Caleb Craft, Jr., and his wife Sarah (Richardson) Craft were removed 
 to Walnut Hills Cemetery, Dec. 6, 1881. 
 
 Charles Craft, who d. March 5, 1864, and Caleb Craft, 3d, d. July 30, 1875, 
 were also removed Dec. 9, 1881, to Walnut Hills Cemetery.

 Samuel Craft married second Lucy Richards Griggs, dau. of Moses and 
 Melatiah Farrington (Richards) Griggs of Roxbury. She was b. Jan. 7, 
 1787. She died July 24, 1875, aged 87 years, at the residence of her daughter 
 Mrs. Henry Loomis, at Poughkeepsie, N. Y. 
 
 Samuel Craft took a prominent part in town affairs, and was active 
 in establishing the Orthodox Congregational Society in Brookline, their 
 first church being built upon his land on the corner of Washington and 
 School Streets, in 1844. 
 
 He had six children. His photograph and autograph and also those of 
 his wife are given in the "Craft Gen." The Craft Family. 
 
 "In the late sixties, my grandmother, Lucy R. Craft, finding the Craft 
 tomb sadly out of repair, bought a lot in which she might eventually be 
 
38 
 
 buried herself, in the Walnut Street Cemetery. She was not buried there 
 but with the Loomis family in Poughkeepsie, N. Y. 
 
 "William and Rebecca, children of the first wife, were buried in Mt. 
 Auburn, and their brother Samuel in New Hampshire. 
 
 "Finally about 1880 the Craft tomb became so dilapidated that my Aunt 
 Rebecca commissioned a distant relative to have the bodies taken from the 
 tomb and buried in the Lucy R. Craft lot. This was done, positive proof 
 of identification being made by cofifin plates. No stones were erected and 
 this is the reason you find the record only and no stones. My grandfather 
 was one of the original members of the Brookline Harvard Church. He 
 and all his descendants spell the name without the s (Craft not Crafts.)"

 "The elder Capt. Samuel Croft built in 1765 a large house on the north 
 side of Washington Street, in what is now the garden of T. P. Chandler, 
 Esq., a rod or two west of the house. 
 
 "At the time of his death in 1771 it was owned by his son Capt. Samuel 
 Croft, Jr., who married into the Sharp family. 
 
 "Capt. Croft's house was a large, square, two-story house with a spacious 
 front yard, well filled with trees and shrubbery. Behind the house was a 
 deep ravine, and here was a spring of cold and excellent water, overshadowed 
 by two very large buttonwood trees." H. F. VV., p. 152. 
 
 Samuel Croft took a prominent position in the affairs of the town, being 
 honored with many offices of trust and responsibility, and was widely 
 known as Capt. Samuel Croft, Jr., although his father died before he had 
 attained his majority. Like his father he adopted the "O" in spelling his 
 name. By his will, April 6, 1814, he left all his estate, which was very 
 extensive, to his wife Susanna. He died in Brookline, 1814, aged 63. 
 His widow died in Brookline, February 9, 1821, aged 70. 
 
 They were without children, and as he was the only son who lived to 
 marry, this branch of the family is extinct in the male line. By the terms 
 of Mrs. Croft's will, made Nov. 3, 1820, she left part of the large estate 
 to her nephew Samuel Craft to his heirs and assigns forever. 
 
 The Crafts Family, p. 140. 
 
 "Perhaps the most distinctly remembered personage of this household, 
 inasmuch as she lived the longest, and was a marked character, was an 
 old colored women named Susy Backus. We say OLD because she called 
 herself fifty, for about forty years, and neither she nor any one else knew her 
 age: but she was a young girl when taken into the Croft house as servant, 
 and here she rendered such service as money cannot buy, during the life- 
 time of her master and mistress. 
 
 "It has often been said by Brookline people that Susie was a slave, but 
 this was not the case. Her father was a kidnapped African who served a 
 blacksmith in Dorchester, and was called Backus. After the death of the 
 blacksmith, the negro kept on with the business in the same shop, but 
 assumed the more aristocratic and imposing title of 'Mr. Cleveland.' 
 
 ' There was a poor Indian woman living in Brookline by the name of 
 Molly Hill, and 'Mr. Cleveland' relieved his solitude and perhaps added 
 to his importance by marrying her. 
 
40 
 
 "Susy was the child of this marriage, but somehow the name 'Cleveland' 
 would not stick to her, and she was always known as Susy Backus. 
 
 "After a four weeks' illness Susy died in 1863, probably eighty-four years 
 of age, if not older, judging from her recollection of ancient events. The 
 old Croft Tomb in Brookline Cemetery, which had not been unclosed for 
 nearly forty years, was opened to receive the body worn out with a long 
 life of toil for others, — and then closed up forever." 
 
 H. F. W., p. 155 and 156. 
 
 "After the death of Mrs. Croft, Susanna Backus went to live with my 
 grandmother, Mrs. Hancock and lived in her family for nearly fifty years, 
 she was buried in the Croft Tomb, after which by Mrs. Croft's will the tomb 
 was never to be opened again for burial." Mrs. Kilby Page.

 "There was an ancient house in the village which stood upon the site of 
 a part of Panter's building. Hunting's grocery store, and Mrs. West's 
 house. It was known as 'Dana's Tavern,' and was kept for many years 
 by Mr. Jonathan Dana. It was a large gambrel-roofed house, with a row 
 of sheds and out-buildings behind it reaching nearly across from Washing- 
 ton Street to Harvard Street. 
 
 "This tavern was a great resort for country produce dealers, but never 
 had as large a local patronage or entertained as much fashionable company 
 as the Punch Bowl, — as the latter had a large dancing-hall, which the 
 Dana Tavern had not." H. F. W., p. 49.

 "Jerry Davenport, as he was familiarly called, was as much one of the

 and ready jokes are well remembered, and also his twenty-seven years' 
 courtship, his slyly-planned marriage so quickly detected, and the Cali- 
 thumpian serenade which followed, making night hideous, from Heath 
 Street to Corey's Hill. Neither will his sudden death be soon forgotten, 
 nor the singular circumstance of his body being taken from the tomb a day 
 or two after burial and set upright in the coffin to be photographed. 'Alas!

 "Deacon Ebenezer was, according to all accounts, an excellent farmer, 
 and his estate was adorned with splendid peach and cherry orchards, to 
 say nothing of apple trees in great variety. He also ventured upon an 
 experiment in horticulture, for those times and raised the first muskmelons 
 that were ever offered for sale in Boston market. It was a success and gave 
 him such a notoriety that his portrait was painted with a muskmelon under 
 his arm. The picture was subsequently carried to England, where it is 
 still preserved in a collection. Under it is written, 'An American Farmer.' "

 Mr. Edward Devotion. 
 
 "Edward Devotion, son of Edward, was a public spirited citizen, and refer- 
 ence to the old town records show that he held various offices of trust for 
 many years. In the church he was for a long period the tithingman. 
 
 "The principal duty of this officer was to keep good order during divine 
 service, among the children, who sat in rows by themselves instead of with 
 their parents. A long rod was usually carried by the tithingman, with 
 which to touch any delinquent who might become drowsy or mischievous. 
 
 "The old house in the village (now on Washington Street), was probably 
 built for Edward Devotion, as he died in that house November 7, 1774. 
 
 "To the Brookline church he left a silver tankard. He also left to the town 
 a sum of money, which at the time of its being received in 1762, amounted 
 to '£739 4s, lawful money,' for the use of schools."

 Mr. Erasman Drue. 
 
 Erosamon Drew, whose name is spelled in six different ways in old 
 documents, came from Ireland in his youth. He married Bethiah, daughter 
 of \'incent Druce. The elder Druce, who seems to have been a wealthy 
 man for those times, left his son-in-law considerable propeny. 
 
 A most curious and elaborate deed dated in 16S3 conveys a tract of 
 sixr\'-four acres of woodland for fiir\--five pounds to Erosamon Drew from 
 "Vincent Drusse and Elizabeth, his wife," in which an imperfectly scrawled 
 V for his name and E for hers, are their only attempts at penmanship.

 "The third Thomas Gardner in the regular line of succession bore a 
 prominent part in the affairs of the town, and was chosen first deacon of 
 the First Church. He was also called Lieutenant (probably in the Indian

 Rev. James Allen, the first minister of this town, though distinguished 
 in his day, has spelt the name of the town three different ways, in his 
 seven printed discourses extant, namely, Brooklin, Brooklyn, Brookline, 
 and a fourth way in the church records, Brooklynn. Dr. Pierce. 
 
 On the 5th of November, 1718, the Rev. James Allen of Roxbury was 
 ordained minister of the church. He preached here more than twenty- 
 eight years. During his ministry one hundred and fifteen were added to 
 the church, "besides forty-four who owned the Covenant without coming 
 to the Lord's table." The baptisms were two hundred and sixty-one. 
 Mr. Allen was called "a pious and judicious divine." There are seven 
 sermons of his now extant which were published during his lifetime, which 
 have been said to "do honor to his head and heart." H. F. W., p. 242. 
 
 Rev. Cotton Brown (son of a minister of Haverhill), was the second 
 minister of the Brookline First Parish. He was ordained October 26, 1748. 
 He was engaged to Rev. Mr. Allen's daughter and the "Walley House" 
 (so-called) was built for him to live in. The young lady, however, died in 
 1750, and Mr. Brown died in 1751, aged twenty-five years, having been 
 pastor of the church not quite two years and a half. H. F. W., p. 244.

 "John Goddard was born in Brookline 28 May, O. S. 1730, a man of 
 uncommonly extensive observation and with a memory proverbially accu- 
 rate. He had peculiar facilities for a knowledge of the facts relating to this 
 little town. For he was not only a native, but spent a large portion of a 
 long life in the place of his nativity. He was, moreover, for many years, 
 Selectman, Assessor, and Representative of this town to the General 
 Court. He was son of John Goddard, grandson of Joseph Goddard, one 
 of the founders of the First Congregational Church of Brookline; also 
 father of Joseph Goddard, born April 15, 1761, and grandfather of Abijah 
 Warren Goddard. These five generations of men all cultivated the same 
 farm, and have been members in full communion of the First Congrega- 
 tional Church." Dr. Pierce. 
 
 "During the Revolutionary War, Mr. Goddard was a commissary- 
 general for the American Army in this vicinity. 
 
64 
 
 "During the siege of Boston, Mr. Goddard was intrusted with the com- 
 mand of three hundred teams, which worked in darkness and by stealth in 
 constructing the fortifications on Dorchester Heights, now South Boston. 
 The absolute silence of the men, the promptness and efficiency with which 
 they labored, and the success which crowned their efforts, were no doubt 
 largely owing to the firmness, courage, and tact of the sturdy patriot in 
 charge. Captain Joseph Goddard, who at that time was a boy of fourteen, 
 was a driver of one of the teams under his father's direction, and often 
 described the event to his children. 
 
 "When the American army removed from Boston to New York, General 
 Washington was urgent that Mr. Goddard should accompany them, but 
 his large family was a sufficiently strong reason why he should decline such 
 service." H. F. W. 
 
 "Mr. Goddard was twice married; his first wife was Sarah Brewer, who 
 lived but two years, then he married Hannah Seaver, the dau. of Nathaniel 
 and Hannah (White) Seaver." 
 
 Bond's Watertown, p. 369. 
 
 "She was a most excellent, energetic, and highly esteemed woman, 
 who brought up a family of sixteen children." 
 
 One son, Mr. Joseph Goddard, who settled upon the farm of his father, 
 was during his long and prosperous life a prominent citizen of Brookline. 
 He was a justice of the peace for many years, and was captain of the 
 militia of the town. He married Mary, a daughter of Samuel Aspinwall. 
 Of the twelve children of Mr. Joseph Goddard, several are widely known. 
 Another son, a prominent citizen, born in the old house, was Mr. 
 Benjamin Goddard, who lived opposite the Reservoir. He was a man of 
 much influence, though he never would accept or hold public office. He 
 acquired much wealth and lived to a great age, being over ninety-five years 
 of age at his death. H. F. W., chap. 16.

 In 1843 the Selectmen were instructed to furnish the Congregational and 
 Baptist societies in town each with a gratuitous deed of a lot for the families 
 of the ten pastors, their successors, or their friends, provided the societies 
 would inclose the lots and ornament them with trees, turf, or shrubbery, 
 in a manner satisfactory to the committee; and by the report in 1846 it 
 appears the selection was made by the three different parishes in town, and 
 deeds were prepared for delivery when the conditions as to ornamentation 
 should be complied with. B. R.

 Thomas Kenrick built a house on South Street, which would now be 
 considered a curiosity; it was one story high only, of but two rooms. It was 
 lighted by little windows of diamond-shaped glass in leaden sash, which 
 swung on hinges, like doors. There was no paint within or without and the 
 best room was papered with old newspapers, not being even plastered. 
 The only ascent to "the loft" was through a trap door by a well-worn ladder, 
 and in a similar way access was had to the cellar. Thomas Kenrick 
 married a Griggs and after his death his widow married Jacob Harvey. 
 
 An old document, dated 1781, is still preserved, in which eight of the old 
 citizens of the town "promise to pay Jacob Harvey on conditions of his 
 serving as a soldier in the Continental army for the term of three years 
 unless regulerly discharged — the sum of fifty hard doUers and three thous- 
 and seven hundred and 50 of the oald Contenantal dollers and to deliver 
 at his hous in said town Four Cords of good Fire wood." This was to be 
 repeated each year or fraction of a year thereafter that he remained in the 
 service. An old receipt for a part of this money signed by his wife "Marey 
 Harvey X her mark" is also extant. 
 
 The old house became so dilapidated that Mrs. Harvey for the last ten 
 years of her life spent her winters with a married daughter in Boston, but 
 she was always impatient for spring to come that she might return to her 
 country residence, or "hut" as she called it. After the old lady died in 
 1826, the house was taken down. The land on which it stood is a part of the 
 Weld place. It is a rocky and beautifully wild country place thereabouts, 
 on one side of the street almost covered with forest trees.

 Aspinwall, widow of Ebenezer Davis who died in 1807. The northerly 
 third of the Homestead Farm, with its extensive cherry and apple orchards, 
 was set off to Mr. Davis' widow for life, hence it was often called the 
 "Holden Farm." About 1834 most of this tract passed to Thomas A. 
 Davis, son of Ebenezer and Lucy A. Davis, who laid out Linden Place and 
 sold the various house lots there. The highest price paid for any part of it 
 was five and a half cents per foot.

 Mrs. Anna Mather 
 
 It will be remembered by those familiar with the early history of Massa- 
 chusetts that Rev. John Cotton, minister of the first church in Boston, was 
 twice married before coming to New England and that his eldest son. 
 Seaborn, born on the voyage, as the name implies, was son of the second wife 
 Sarah Hawkridge, the widow of William Story and said to have been a 
 dear friend of the first Mrs. Cotton (Elizabeth Horrocks). Four years 
 atfer Mr. Cotton's death in 1652, his widow, Sarah, married Rev. Mr. 
 
86 
 
 Richard Mather of Dorchester. She was buried in King's Chapel Ground 
 in Boston. Her son Rev. Seaborn Cotton became minister of Hampton, 
 N. H., where he died. He was succeeded by his son Rev. John Cotton who 
 died at Hampton, N. H. in 1710. His wife was Anna, dau. of Thomas 
 Lake, a merchant of Boston, and a niece of Sir Edward Lake, LL.D., 
 Chancellor of the Diocese of Lincolnshire, Eng. 
 
 Thomas, only son of John and Anna Cotton, came into possession of the 
 part of the Cotton Farm east of Cypress Street and in 1740, after removing 
 to Pomfret, Conn., sold it to Ebenezer Davis. This Thomas Cotton was a 
 farmer and lived in Brookline from abt. 1711 to abt. 1739. His mother had 
 married for a second husband Rev. Increase Mather of Boston, son of the 
 Rev. Richard Mather above named. She died in Brookline of small-pox in 
 1737, and was buried in the old Walnut Street Ground. 
 
 Rev. John Cotton of Boston had a son. Rev. John Cotton of Plymouth. 
 His son, Rev. Roland Cotton was minister of Sandwich. After him came 
 Rev. John Cotton of Newton and from him the western half of the Cotton 
 Farm passed to various owners.

 Mr. Samuel Philbrick, who was one of the pioneers in anti-slavery reform 
 at a time when a man must have had in him the courage and the persever- 
 ance of a martyr to dare identify himself with so unpopular a cause, was a 
 worshipper at the First Church for years. 
 
 He was born and educated among the Friends or Quakers, but did not 
 identify himself with them in later years, though his marriage was consum- 
 mated according to the peculiar forms or usages of that sect. Mr. Phil- 
 brick never united with the Unitarian Church, as a member. He was a 
 man of wealth and influence and occupied a central pew in the church. 
 He was the friend of Garrison, May, Phillips, and others of the leading 
 abolitionists of those days, and his house was one of the way-stations of 
 "the underground railroad," which here and there gave brief shelter and 
 rest for the fugitives, on the way from Mason and Dixon's line to Canada. 
 
 Mr. Philbrick outlived much of the odium attached to the name of 
 "abolitionist," and saw their ranks swelled by thousands after the rendition 
 of Anthony Burns. He died, however, in September, 1859, before the 
 triumph of the principles for which he had sacrificed convenience and 
 popularity. 
 
 In less than ten years from that time his son was supervising the indus- 
 tries and economies of the freedmen of South Carolina without molestation 
 or hindrance. H. F. W., p. 270-274.

 Mr. Pierce was a native of Dorchester, and a cousin of Rev. Dr. Pierce, 
 and long a member of the choir of the First Church. Whether living in a 
 house which had once served the Revolutionary soldiers as a barrack in- 
 spired him with patriotic ferver or not, we do not know, but when he was 
 seventy years of age he walked to Concord, Mass., and back, on the occa- 
 sion of the laying of the corner-stone of the battle monument, to hear 
 Webster's oration, a distance of eighteen miles each way. His widow, a 
 much beloved lady of the olden style, survived him several years. 
 
 Mr. James Pierce also played the bass-viol, as well as sang in the choir of 
 the First Church, he took his little daughters into "the singers' seats," when 
 they were so small that they were obliged to stand on crickets to bring 
 their heads above the balustrade. One of them, who was afterwards the 
 wife of Charles Stearns, Jr., was for years the leader of the female voices.

 Dr. Pierce was graduated, holding high rank in his class, at Harvard Col- 
 lege in 1793. He was for the two succeeding years assistant preceptor at 
 Leicester Academy. In 1795, he commenced the study of theology with 
 Rev. Thaddeus Harris, of Dorchester. 
 
 In 1797 he was invited to fill the vacancy in the Brookline Church caused 
 by the death of Mr. Jackson. He held at that time a tutorship at Harvard 
 College. He was ordained pastor of the Brookline Church, March 15, 
 1797. 
 
 In October of the following year he was married to Abigail Lovell, of 
 Medway, who had been one of his pupils at the Academy. She died in 
 July 1800, leaving an infant son, who lived but three years. 
 
 In 1802 Dr. Pierce was married to Lucy Tappan of Northampton, a lady 
 beloved for her quiet virtues, and who lived to a venerated old age.

 Mrs. Poor as the daughter of Dr. Pierce and sister-in-law of Dr. Hedge, 
 was a person of especial interest. Mr. Poor I always think of as possessing 
 a quite unusual combination of qualities. 
 
 To know Mr. Poor aright, one should have seen him on "his native 
 heath." It was once my happy privilege to spend some days with him 
 among the scenes of his boyhood in Andover, Maine. There all the sweet- 
 ness of his nature came forth in full strength. He loved those great hills 
 passionately, and especially it was his delight to follow up and explore the 
 dim recesses of a mountain stream. Could I visit that place again, I think 
 I should know that he was with me, and that his delight in its natural 
 beauty was still undimmed. H. N. B., p. 13.

 honor of a deceased comrade who had been a very efficient fireman. He was 
 also a gallant soldier and a son of Elisha Stone. H. F. W., p. 139.

 Phineas Lyman Tracy, Adjutant. Soldier of the Revolution. 
 
 Several of our main guard were killed by cannon shot. Our adjutant, 
 Phineas Lyman Tracy, from the town of Norwich, died soon after we came 
 into camp. — The day following his departure we all turned out to attend 
 his funeral; we carried him three miles to the burying ground in Brooklyn. 
 The order of march was, arms reversed, drums muffled, and pipes playing 
 
120 
 
 the tune called "Funeral Thoughts." Just fifty years afterwards, out of 
 respect to the memory of this young man, I went to view the spot and find 
 the grave in which he was deposited, but found nothing by which it was 
 to be distinguished from many others.
